The last All-Star that the Jazz had was Gordon Hayward in 2017. They haven’t had two All-Stars on the same team in over a decade, when Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur made the team in 2007.

It was important that both Gobert and Mitchell made key strides over the summer, which they have, and it’s also important that both Gobert and Mitchell got the recognition from the league that they deserve, which they have.

During the course of Gobert’s seven-year career and Mitchell’s three-year career, Utah Jazz fans have been blessed with countless memories, highlights and more. That’s been especially true this season.
